THE POWER OF LOVEUpdated at Apr 30, 2024, 03:29
Before Sinan could react, the heavy wooden door slowly creaked open, and there stood Jen, his ex-girlfriend who had moved abroad over a year ago. Her shoulder-length chestnut hair framed her face perfectly, while her striking sea-green eyes eased Sinan's surprise.
Sinan: (shocked and puzzled) "Jen?! What on Earth are you doing here? I thought you were in Europe!"
Jen: (smiling) "Hey, Sinan. Yeah, I just got back a few days ago. I tried calling and texting, but I guess you were busy. I didn't know where else to find you so I thought I'd stop by your office."
Sinan: (swept by a wave of nostalgia) "Wow! Um, yeah, please have a seat! What brings you back? Is everything okay?"
Jen sat down on the plush leather chair opposite Sinan's cluttered desk, fiddling with her hands in her lap as she searched for the right words.
Jen: (hesitant) "My contract with the marketing firm ended. The job market's cut-throat out there, and I realized how much I missed home. You, among other things."
Sinan, feeling the familiar whirlwind of emotions, tried to keep his tone professional as he responded.
Sinan: "I understand. So, you're here to stay, or...?"
Jen: (fidgeting) "For now, yes. I figured it was time to start fresh, maybe look for a job here. I have family in the area, so I thought it'd be a good move."
Sinan: (nervous laughter) "Wow, that's quite the change. How was Europe?"
Jen: (smiling) "Absolutely gorgeous, and I learned a lot. I got to visit all those places we dreamed of exploring together."
Sinan: (trying to avoid the lingering memories) "Right... Well, I'm sure you're over the jetlag by now. How does it feel to be back in town?"
Jen: (sighing) "Odd. Like everything's changed, yet remained the same. But it's strange to be back without you by my side."
Sinan: (blushing) "Jen, we broke up before you left. We both knew it was for the best. Our lives were on separate paths."
Jen: (looking down) "I know, Sinan. I know. I just... I never stopped thinking about you."
Caught off guard, Sinan hastily grabbed a cup of cold coffee from that morning and took a sip to buy some time.
Sinan: (coughing slightly) "Well, you were always on my mind too, Jen. But, we agreed that long distance wasn't going to work with our demanding schedules."
Jen: (looking directly into his eyes) "What if I told you I want to give us another chance, Sinan? That I want to try again?"
Sinan: (startled) "Jen, I... I don't know what to say. We both have changed. What makes you think it'd work this time?"
Jen: (pleadingly) "It's simple, Sinan. I didn't realize until I was thousands of miles away how much I truly love you. We have grown, and that'll only make us stronger. I believe we can overcome our differences."
Sinan sighed, contemplating the ramifications of Jen's dramatic statement.
Sinan: "Jen, I won't lie. I've missed you too. But, I've moved on. I can't just pretend that time hasn't happened." I am happily married now and I love my wife."
Jen: (determined) "But you had love me before Sinan.
Sinan contemplated Jen's words, recalling every moment they shared. As the memories washed over him, he found himself recalling how she had hurt him.
Choosing his wife Lyn over her once lover and ex gf Jen is the main core of the story.
Lets enjoy the roller coaster love of Lynn and Sinan.
